There is a clear indication of wear to the high points, to confirm this I have also checked my Bunc example of the coin,
Thanks also for the feedback! Are there perhaps any images you can share? I'd like to train my eye a bit and become familiar with wear. I've done some research but it would be great to have some direct pointers. :)
The photo in the catalogue is an excellent image of the coin, what you should do is first compare the high points on the coin and look for differences in the two, the high points are always the first to show wear which will always give a different appearance to the coin, when I started collecting in 1963 I just took every coin to be the same regardless of condition but as you become more experienced then you become more discerning. If you want a certain coin buy what you can afford at the time and look to improve later, coin collecting is a fantastic hobby and doesn’t have to be expensive, collect to suit your pocket. As a footnote I have a quite worn Irish 1943 penny in my tray which I will never part with, it’s the first non UK coin I ever found and is more precious to me than any of the others.
